Former Scotland and Fort William player Gary Innes has made a worthy addition to the shinty songbook with his new single "The Caman Man" which has already taken the download chart by storm.

The song was launched on Radio nan Gaidheal’s Siubhal gu Seachd show where host Derek “Pluto” Murray gave it a first national broadcast

Gary Innes started to write the lyrics in the form of a poem back in 2014 after hanging up his caman following an illustrious career which included two man of the match performance in Fort William’s Camanachd Cup success in 2005 and 2010.

The new song is accompanied by a superb video put together by Norman Strachan who films each week for the Camanachd Association YouTube channel.

Gary said, "I've been completely blown away by the response to 'The Caman Man' which has now reached out to over half a million people on Facebook. Shinty was such a huge part of my life growing up and I've always felt, in many ways, the music and the sport have complimented each other, so it has been very special to combine the two once more."

The single is available on ITunes and is included in Gary’s new, recently released album which is titled 'ERA'."
